Okay, now you've really got me confused! Would you, Beolakh, please explain what in the world you have in your mind, instead of trying to have us GUESS?!?!?

Meaning, imo, I couldn't just say that. I can say, "Meaning, in my opinion..." Because we're writers. We write. And writers who are too lazy to spell out things like that...(no idea where I'm going with that sentence, never mind)
I agree. We want things like "WWR = Wild West Relay" (or whatever it was, sorry) and "LOTR=Lord of the Rings." THAT stuff would go in the glossary.

Please. Tydus is doing a great job of giving the short version and then an explanation. It helps a lot.

Oh, no stuff like imo and other stuff out of character? I guess I understand that. Though I still wanna be able to use colloquialisms (like wanna), but if not... oh well. Though lol had better not be outlawed. If it is... oh well, I guess there's no use arguing. Basically, if you didn't get it Vinquith (I'm not sure if you did or not, so bear with me while I give another quick explanation), I guess we won't be taking many of the usual shortcuts on this site, like imo and lol. The only abbreviations we'll use will be ones directly pertaining to Domhantir, like... um, I guess we just wait for the dictionary to come out to see what those are. It'll take getting used to, oh well, that's ok, in the long run it'll save tons of typing time trying to remember how to spell all these names

Okay, not doing the weird stuff. Makes life easier. (I hate it when my mom shortens words and uses wanna! She's not the best typist in the world.) But I've been currupted too. Kinda would fall in the colloquialism category, right?

I dunno, I guess we just need to wait for Beolakh/Fvarith to reply.

You will be able to access that once you have completed your audition.

To answer the earlier question about a Glossary:
Eh. Forget it.
What we don't want is to encourage chatspeak (FIST OF RAGE!!!). Therefore, the only Glossary we'd need would be for Domhantir-speak. Which we haven't developed yet. So, if at some point we need a Glossary, we'll make one. But until then--meh.

Hello, writers of Domhantir! Your site was recommended to me by my cousin, Tydus (Rivus, whatever you guys call him). So far, I like what I have seen and am interested in joining... I have a problem, however. While writing my charry's history, I realized that I didn't know anything about the world in which my charry lives. I would like to know more about the geography so that I can decide where he came from and where he lives...and how that will affect how he interacts with the other charrys (whose bios I have read). I cannot, however, access the part of this site that tells me about Domhantir...What should I do? Thanks for your help... Andunare

Welcome, Andunare!
Your timing is impeccable. I just started a member poll about what all guests should be able to access--rather than make you wait, however, I think I'll open the Almanac up now. The only content there is by Fvarith and me, the admins, and I have no problem with it being open to the general public.

Anytime. Also--once you register an account, you'll be able to access other members' bios and auditions, if you're looking for ideas. You'll also be able to post in the OOC boards. Which are crazy. And rather spontaneous. ;D Me gusta.

Well, I have actually already read everyone else's character bios...Tydus sent them to me via email. I like what I have seen so far (in fact, when I read the bios I was surprised to find that both my "original" charry ideas had already been taken by other players.) I did notice that your group is a bit heavy on introverted personalities, gladiators, shape shifters, and woodland dwellers, so I tried to avoid any overlap...and hopefully my charry will help to lighten the mood a little!
